Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a droplet discharge device for ejecting droplets, and more particularly to a multi-head inkjet droplet coating device for a movable type of an inkjet head moving frame [ Prior Art Φ Inkjet head is a device that ejects a small amount of droplets with high precision using a bubble or a piezoelectric element. The inkjet coating device is a device that realizes high-precision, high-air-tight droplet coating by using an inkjet head. In recent years, it has attracted much attention and is expected to be used in various fields. As described in Patent Document 1, as the substrate to be coated is increased in size, the number of ink jet heads assembled in the apparatus is also increased, and when high-precision coating is performed on the substrate, variations in the mounting of the ink jet heads are caused. The deviation of the position of the ink jet head causes a serious influence on the coating performance. Therefore, it is necessary to use 0 to mount the ink jet head, or to perform position correction by observing the nozzle, so as to improve the nozzle position accuracy. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-148180 (Patent Document 1) In the method of Patent Document 1, the state of the droplets ejected onto the substrate is observed by a camera provided on the inkjet head. The offset from the mounted reference position is calculated and corrected by moving the ink jet head. In addition, the fixed camera is used to observe the coating amount according to the flight condition of the coating liquid. According to this method, since the ejection speed and the emission angle of the respective ink jet heads are different, in the case of actually applying the coating, the coating state between the respective ink jet heads may be different, and streaks may be uneven on the film. The substrate to be used is required to be sprayed for the test, so that waste of the coating liquid is generated. Φ The object of the present invention is to provide a coating device which is used in addition to the conventionally correcting the nozzle position based on the detection result of the nozzle position. (dot) a position detecting camera to observe the position of each dot on the coated substrate, thereby obtaining a coating deviation amount and correcting the nozzle position, and The flying state of the ejected droplets is measured, and the ejection control is performed based on the observation result to achieve high-precision coating. In order to suppress the influence of the difference in the ejection state of the inkjet head, after pattern coating on the substrate, The positional correction is performed by measuring the position of the coating point by the camera to calculate the amount of movement and moving the inkjet head in the ΧΥΘ direction. The present invention focuses on the ejection speed and ejection of the inkjet head. The deviation of the angle or the like is relatively small for a single ink jet head, but the initial characteristic variation occurring during manufacture between the ink jet heads arranged in an array is very large, and an installation error occurs when the apparatus is installed, and when the coating is performed, The environmental change (for example, 'temperature change, viscosity change of the material used, clogging, etc.) has a large influence on the change in the temporal characteristics of the ink jet head, so that the measurement of each ink jet head is performed immediately before the application. Characteristics, according to the above-mentioned measurement knot -6-200924984 for coating control, thereby reducing the positional deviation of each coating point' [Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking an inkjet coating apparatus as an example. Figs. 1 and 2 are schematic views showing an inkjet coating apparatus equipped with six inkjet heads. In the inkjet coating apparatus, the substrate 21 for loading an object to be coated is fixed to the substrate stage 20 on the stage surface by a suction suction mechanism (not shown). In a manner, a moving frame 2 that can be moved in the front-rear direction is provided. On the moving frame 2, three ink-jet heads 1 movable in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the moving frame are provided on the front side, and the same on the rear side Three ink jet heads 1 are also provided. A moving stage 17 (provided with a linear motor) is provided at both leg portions of the moving frame 2, and by driving the linear motor, it can be placed on the linear track 18 (set on the gantry side) Move 〇 in the front and rear direction. Further, although not illustrated, the moving stage 17 further includes a mechanism for moving the moving frame 2 up and down. Each of the ink jet heads 1 is coupled to the ink jet head moving mechanism 3'. The ink jet head moving mechanism 3 is fixed to the moving frame 2. In the ink jet head moving mechanism 3, the ink jet head 'is attached to the substrate stage 20 through the mounting bracket 4, and the discharge ports (nozzles 9) of the ink jet head 1 are arranged in parallel with each other at intervals. . The combination of the ink jet head moving mechanism 3, the mounting bracket 4, and the ink jet head 1 is provided in the moving frame 2 so that three (the total of six) and three (the total) are arranged in a zigzag manner. Further, the nozzle camera 6 and the flying drop 200924984 are installed in front of (or behind) the apparatus (substrate stage 20) to inspect the camera 7. The nozzle camera 6 is disposed upward to observe the nozzle of the inkjet head 1, and the droplet inspection camera 7 is disposed in a horizontal direction in order to observe the state of the droplets ejected from the nozzle 9. Further, as shown in Fig. 2, a cover covering the rear side ink jet head of the moving frame 2 is provided on the rear (or front) side of the moving frame 2, and a coating spot inspection camera 8 is attached to the cover portion. The coating spot inspection camera 8 is disposed to face downward in order to observe the state of the droplets applied to the surface of the substrate. In order to move the coating spot inspection camera 8 along the linear rail 22 (provided in the lid portion) in the longitudinal direction of the moving frame 2, a linear motor is provided. Next, the function and operation of each part of the device will be described. As shown in Fig. 3, a plurality of nozzles 9 for ejecting droplet material are disposed on the bottom surface of each of the ink jet heads in a two-dimensional and plural array. A piezoelectric drive mechanism for ejecting droplet material is disposed in each of the ink jet heads 1. Further, the nozzles 9 are arranged at equal intervals. In the present embodiment, the nozzles 9 of the two rows are arranged in a zigzag shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be one column or increase the number of columns by 0. As shown in Fig. 4, the head moving mechanism 3 includes three clutches 10, 11, and 12, shafts 13, 14, and 15 and a driving force transmission case 35. The clutch 10 is used to connect (or disconnect) the ink jet head 1 to the shaft 13, and by rotating the clutch 10, the ink jet head can be moved in the X-axis direction. The clutch 11 is for connecting (or uncoupling) the ink jet head 1 to the shaft 14, and by rotating the clutch 11, the ink jet head 1 can be moved in the Y-axis direction. The clutch 12 is for connecting (or uncoupling) the ink jet head 1 to the shaft 15, and by rotating the clutch 12, the ink jet head 1 can be rotated in the 0 direction. 200924984 Each of the shafts 13, 14, and 15 is rotated by an ink jet head driving motor built in the connecting portion 16. Therefore, by turning the clutches ON/OFF, the mounting brackets and the ink jet heads mounted thereon can be selected and moved in the X, Y, and 0 directions. As described above, the moving frame 2 is disposed on the linear rail 18 via the moving stage 17, and the moving frame 2 is provided with a driving mechanism capable of vertically moving up and down with respect to the moving stage 17, and linearly A drive mechanism in which the rail 18 moves in the front-rear direction. Further, the nozzle camera 6 is provided to observe the state of the nozzles of the respective ink-jet heads 1, thereby detecting clogging of the respective nozzles, and cleaning of the nozzles or replacement of the nozzles. Further, a fly-deep inspection camera 7 is provided in order to observe the flying state of the liquid droplets ejected from the nozzles. Fig. 5 shows the observation state of the nozzle camera, and Fig. 6 shows the arrangement state of the ejection ports of the plurality of ink jet heads. The control unit (not shown) determines whether or not cleaning or replacement of the ink jet head is performed by the observation result of the nozzle camera, the current use history of the nozzle, and the like, and performs processing based on the result of the determination. The nozzle camera 6 and the droplet inspection camera 7 described above are provided on the moving rail 19 (provided on the front side of the substrate stage 20) so as to be coaxial and movable in the left-right direction. First, in a state where the moving frame 2 is raised (each ink head is positioned above), the moving frame 2 is moved along the linear track 18, and the nozzle position of the ink jet head 1 provided on the moving frame 2 is aligned with the nozzle camera. 6 position (moving track position). Next, the nozzle camera 6 is moved to the nozzle position of the ink jet head 1 to be observed, and the state of the nozzles of the respective ink jet heads 1 is observed from the lower side. Further, the fly-drop inspection camera 7 is moved to the position where the liquid droplets ejected from the respective ink-jet heads are observable -9-200924984, and the target is aligned with the droplets, and the droplets are observed to move in parallel with the nozzle surface. By observing the flying droplets, it is possible to predict the shift of the ink jet head 1, the clogging of the nozzle 9, and the like, and to use it as information for driving and controlling the ink jet head 1. When the droplets are observed, if necessary, the substrate 21 for adjustment can be provided on the substrate stage 20 by vacuum suction or the like, and the moving frame 2 can be moved in the vertical direction to control the respective ink jet heads and the substrate 21. The material is applied to the substrate 21 by the pitch and the moving speed of the moving frame 2 in the front-rear direction (i.e., the coating speed). At this time, by controlling the moving speed and the timing of the ejection of each of the ink jet heads, it is possible to apply various patterns. Further, the above-described control may be performed in an actual coating state without using the substrate for adjustment. Figure 7 shows the observation status of the coating point inspection camera. Figure 8 shows an enlarged view of the coating point. As shown in Fig. 2, the coating spot inspection camera 8 is provided on the rear side of the movable frame 2 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the moving frame 2. That is, the coating point inspection camera 8 is disposed on the φ linear track 22 (disposed on the moving frame 2), and the coating point inspection camera 8 is moved on the linear track (left-right direction), and the moving frame 2 is placed at The coating point 26 applied to the substrate 21 can be observed by moving up and down in the front-rear direction. The position of the coated liquid droplets applied to the substrate is determined by checking the image of the substrate 21 imaged by the camera 8 based on the coating point, thereby correcting the position of the nozzle. Next, the nozzle position correction (correction) method will be described using FIG. Figure 9 is a flow chart showing a method of adjusting the position of the nozzle. First, in the first stage, position correction (conventional method) of each nozzle is performed based on the inspection result of the nozzle camera 6 - 200924984. In this order, the substrate stage 20 and the moving frame 2 are first operated to move the ink jet head to the position of the nozzle camera 6. Next, (1) The position of the nozzles 23 and 24 at both ends of the ink jet head 1 is observed by the nozzle camera 6 based on the inkjet head 1 in the center of the previous row, and the coordinates are XI and Y1. (2) The coordinate correction of the nozzle camera 6 and the coating spot inspection camera 8 is carried out.
